Outrage of the Day

Even though they admit that JihadTV broadcasts hateful, antisemitic material and promotes the cause of worldwide holy war, the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission doesn’t see any reason not to allow it in Canada: Al-Jazeera TV licence sparks anger. (Thanks to all who emailed about this.)

Charles Dalfen, chairman of the CRTC, agreed in an interview that Al-Jazeera has broadcast objectionable material.

Some of the remarks cited at commission hearings clearly held Jews up to “hatred and contempt on the basis of religion,” said Dalfen.

On the other hand, he said, Al-Jazeera met the test of being a credible news service, and the commission had a legal duty not to unduly infringe freedom of expression.

The conclusion was that “we couldn’t absolutely ban it,” said Dalfen.

So, in Canada, a news service that spreads open, virulent Jew-hatred can still be “a credible news service.” This is beyond disgusting.
